Children & Youth Ministry

"But Jesus asked the children to come to him. Let the little children come to me, he said. Don't keep them away. God's kingdom belongs to people like them." Luke 18:16

​Kids - Come 'plant' yourself in the Garden on Sunday! See how much fun it can be to learn about God. Come Grow With Us!

From the beginning, we determined that we would be a child-friendly community. We want to pass on the faith to the next generation. Reaching this goal won't be done by doing things the same old way. The challenges are tougher. We're excited that our children's ministry is led by a creative team of people who engage the children in exciting ways.

We're blessed with unusual "classrooms" -- almost 30 acres of woods, greenhouses, gardens, a creek, and much more. We are still working to develop this site's tremendous potential.

Most of our children stay with us during the first 20 minutes of worship and then are invited to their age-appropriate, interactive educational time.

On days we remain in Worship, Children's Worship Pages and colored pencils are available on the table by the Sanctuary door. There are also Worship Bags ​in the coat closet for restless little ones to use during Worship. ​The Nursery is always available for children under 3.

​VBS 2018 Announced!!!

You are invited to join us this summer in Abundance Orchard - where faith grows and hungry people are fed. Vacation Bible School 2018 will be July 9 - 13. With all the ice, snow, and cold of winter, summer feels a long way off. But, it will be here before we know it! Don't miss out on all the fun, games, music, snacks, and mission experiences of VBS.
